A hillside view always has something special. In Chalet LA at Atelier Leymarie Gourdon, you look out over the Chambre d'Aze mountain, in France. The most beautiful winter mornings are sure to be experienced here.
Atelier Leymarie Gourdon is an agency that focuses on several areas. They offer their services for new buildings and renovations, but also for cultural facilities and catering establishments. They always try to draw up an optimal plan that fully meets the client's needs. The implementation of their projects focuses on simple and economical solutions using noble and durable materials. They are therefore concerned with finding meaning in the essentials. With an eye for detail, the studio explores the relationship between materials, textures and finishing solutions, always supported by craftsmen. Chalet LA is located in the Pyrenees, has an area of 130 square metres and was finished in 2020. The wooden chalet is located in a field facing the Chambre d'Aze, and hence enjoys a phenomenal view every day that includes a beautiful lake. The house is built on three floors, all of which face the lake. Under the beams of the roof is the master bedroom; here and on the terrace, you can enjoy the best views Chalet LA has to offer. The terrace is directly connected to the ground floor living space. The house enjoys a large dose of natural light, which, together with the extraordinary surroundings, blurs the boundary between indoor and outdoor space.
The design is sleek without being cold and avoids the superfluous without being unsociable.
The walls and ceilings are clad in wood from reclaimed pine and fir trees. Atelier Leymarie Gourdon also used raw materials such as natural stone, concrete and steel. This mixes the atmosphere of an old cabin with industrial elements, such as the fireplace and glass sliding doors. The design is sleek without being cold and avoids the superfluous without being unsociable. Here you can stop and focus on the location, the company and the essence of your day. On top of that, Chalet LA is the perfect stay for those who want to enjoy the nearby nature and do that in a home that is close to the environment, but still has the desired modern touch.
The next time we want to get away from the hustle and bustle for a few days, we will think of Chalet LA. Here you will experience a perfect meeting between natural materials and industrial influences, and that with a beautiful view.
